BuskerFest 2016: The Fire Show

I finally was able to watch a fire show! I am usually wandering from music to music and distracted enough, that I somehow end up missing the fire shows. This year I was able to catch the last one of the season. They did not disappoint! Juggling, throwing, balancing, and tossing fire and other illuminated…

BuskerFest 2016: Evening Kitchen Party…

Just not the same without a little Celtic/Kilt Musical encounter. The Lads of Screeched Inn welcome you in with their fun and lively tunes, a little collective held note or two, and some cheeky stage talk. You may even get to Kiss a Cod. This year they pitched in a field, with the cover of darkness,…

Wee Wanderers… November Harmony

Almost as soon as I was done taking baby photos of Harper, the Sister of Harper’s Dad; contacted me to do some more. This time, a 6 month old named Harmony. With the loveliest big blue eyes and cute grin, myself and her mom ran out of smile extractors. She was a good sport, despite…

BuskerFest 2016: D.J.’s & Beat Boxing

In between the live music acts, Roamers, and waiting for other musical acts to start, I wandered towards the main stage to catch some spinning and beats. Scott Jackson , who won  a beat boxing battle in Montreal in 2010, has won every battle since then. Earning him the title of BeatBox Champion, It’s just not…

Wee Wanderer… Baby Steps…

Recently I had the opportunity to photograph a one month old baby named Harper. Hearing of the challenges of taking baby photos: Crying, Feeding, Peeing, Pooping…ext.. I decided to take on the challenge! Harper, for the most part, was in good spirits, only stopping once to feed, change her diaper, and putting her to sleep…

BuskerFest 2016: Stilts and Orbs

While at Toronto BuskerFest I had more time to experience the roaming performers. It’s so easy for me to get distracted by the music performers that I usually miss most of the roamers. This year I managed to catch a couple. One Lifeguard who stopped to pose for me, and this lovely orb performer who…

Toronto BuskerFest 2016: The Budapest Marionette …

Toronto BuskerFest wasn’t without some favourites!  The Budapest Marionette show is a very unique experience. Bence Sarkadi is a puppet maker from Hungry, has performed in over 20 countries around the world, and owns the smallest puppet in the world. Each part of his show is a carefully crafted puppets carved mostly out of wood, and strung…

Toronto BuskerFest 2016: Heather and Vince …

This year at Toronto BuskerFest  was a slightly different experience. At Woodbine Park in East Toronto, BuskersFest felt more like a festival then busking on the street. Although we didn’t impede the Toronto traffic and work commuters, I sort of missed being on the street. There was however, no shortage of incredible talent! Heather and Vince…

RiverFest: The Sheepdogs …

Defiantly blowing the roof off Sunday night, The Sheepdogs headlined the Main Stage at Riverfest. Tearing up the night with excellent musicianship, fantastic guitar solos, and ripping the roof off with high energy rock. We were jumping, dancing, and totally rocking out! Singing along I tried my best to be still and photograph, pausing briefly to…

RiverFest: 54-40 & Matthew Good …

Saturday night at Riverfest we threw it back with a little nostalgia. 54-40 played an acoustic set at The Koop. This proved to be a bit challenging to get some decent photos, as the lighting wasn’t the best. They played some fan favourites, and we were packed in like sardines, but were jamming to the…
